Inmate Money

Every prison has a Commissary which was started to provide prisoners a bank-like account for inmate funds and for purchasing things not issued by the Bureau of Prisons.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people may add money to these accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send prisoners money through the postal service and have to send money to the address below and do so in accordance with the policies shows below:

The funds have to be in a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, during which the inmate will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that don’t have correct prisoner info but only if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Cash and personal checks can’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send cash or checks.
